This cottage was one of the best we have stayed at in the lakes. It is very welcoming and has everything you should need (we have a baby and a 4 year old). Bev was very thoughtful and rang to ask if we needed a high chair or stair gate and even left us a bottle of wine! It is decorated to a high standard with lovely bathrooms, soft towels, comfy beds and lots of space for coats and boots. The only negative was very noisy floorboards upstairs but this only affected us because of the children and of course it's an old property.The situation is fantastic for walks and pubs, the garden is also great for the children. Thank you for having us.

Thanks for taking the time to review Ash Gill Cottage and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay.We are, however, sorry to hear that you found the upstairs floorboards noisy, with the property only 25 years old and the floorboards replaced when we refurbished in 2013, we are aware that they do make some noise, although not excessive and this is the first instance of guests openly reporting floorboard noise during their stay at Ash Gill. We just hope that it didn't spoil the enjoyment of your holiday.We are glad that that you found the house comfortable and welcoming and describe it to be "one of the best" in the lakes that you have stayed in, we try our best to ensure our guests have the best facilities we can provide and it certainly helps having two excellent pubs within 150 yards of the doorstep and a plethora of walks to choose from.We do hope to welcome you back to Ash Gill Cottage again at some point in the future.Best regards,Bev

Excellent spacious property. Immaculately presented. Outside does not do it justice. Everything provided for our needs. Lovely enclosed garden for the grandchildren to play in. The beds were very comfortable and rooms had ample storage space. Plenty to see and do in the area. Two excellent pubs within a 2 min walk serving excellent food. We would love to return again.

This is our second visit to Ash Gill, probably the best equipped and most comfortable holiday cottage we have stayed in - and we have stayed in quite a few. The cottage is well located for walks from the doorstep, from easier lakeside walks to climbing the Coniston fells for the more adventurous. We also cycled to Coniston along the lakeside cycle route and then on to Brantwood and the east side of the lake. Would recommend the Wilsons Arms for good food and beer, and the Church House Inn is also very good. Plenty of visitor attractions in the area for all ages.

Thank you for your wonderful review. We are glad that you found returning to Ash Gill Cottage for your second visit was successful. We are fortunate to be located in a beautiful area and having two fantastic hostelries on the doorstep makes life pleasurable, especially if you don't want to cook or sample the locally brewed beers.

We aim to ensure that our guests are as comfortable as possible and try to think of everything that may make our guests' stay easy and effortless and we are always looking to improve if we can.

We look forward to welcoming you back for your third visit at some point in the future.Kind regards,Bev

Two families stayed here for a few days over half term. We had a fab time despite the weather!! Facilities in the cottage were probably the best we have experienced in the Lakes and we have had quite a few holidays over the years. Would definitely like to stay again in the future.

The cottage is tastefully furnished, well equipped and very clean. The location is perfect for walking in the Coniston / Duddon Valley area from the doorstep. We enjoyed taking the Coniston launch from Torver to Coniston and walking back along the lake shore. The local pub, the Wilsons Arms is 100 metres from the cottage, serves excellent food and has a good selection of wines and beers. We enjoyed our holiday here so much that we have just booked to return in July 2016.
